Reminder that "biological sex" is not a thing that exists. It is a legal fiction in every place that refers to it. In the UK, in the equality act, it means "the sex that was written on your original birth certificate." Incidentally, it doesn't matter if that's due to a clerical error.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

The idea that ambiguity in communication is what causes men to rape is another one of those fictions we indulge in as a society to obfuscate how sexual assault is more or less a game to men, how groups of men encourage and enable each other and how it forms the basis of their social standing.

last i checked unwanted invasive questions about sexual topics is textbook sexual harassment and in the UK is explicitly unlawful under the equality act 2010 but she's rich so it's not illegal when she does it JKR is openly admitting to having committed a sex crime in this post
What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment occurs when a person engages in unwanted conduct of a  
sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of:
violating 
someone’s 
dignity 
or
creating an intimidating, hostile, 
degrading, humiliating or 
offensive environment for them.
Sexual harassment is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010. 
Unwanted conduct of a sexual nature
• Includes a wide range of behaviour, such as: - sexual comments or jokes - displaying sexually graphic pictures, posters or photos - suggestive looks, staring or leering - propositions and sexual advances - making promises in return for sexual favours - sexual gestures - intrusive questions about a person’s private or sex life, and discussing your own sex life - sexual posts or contact on social media - spreading sexual rumours about a person  - sending sexually explicit emails or text messages - unwelcome touching, hugging, massaging or kissing - criminal behaviour, including sexual assault, stalking, indecent exposure and  
offensive communications.
• An individual can experience unwanted conduct from someone of the same or different sex. 
• The recipient of the behaviour decides whether or not it is unwanted. 
• Unwanted conduct can be one-off. It does not need to be repeated to constitute sexual    
harassment. 
• Unwanted conduct does not need to be directed at a person. It can be witnessed or overheard.
• It does not matter whether the conduct is acceptable to others or is common in the person’s   
work environment
